Nikon Inc.'s reported carbon emissions

Inherited from Nikon Corporation

Nikon Inc., headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. However, it is important to note that Nikon Inc. inherits its climate commitments and emissions data from its parent company, Nikon Corporation. This relationship means that any climate initiatives or targets are cascaded from Nikon Corporation, which is responsible for setting the overarching sustainability goals. Nikon Corporation has engaged in various climate initiatives, including participation in the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), and the RE100 initiative, which focuses on sourcing 100% renewable energy. While specific reduction targets for Nikon Inc. are not detailed, the parent company's commitments suggest a proactive approach to addressing climate change. As a current subsidiary of Nikon Corporation, Nikon Inc. aligns with the corporate family’s sustainability strategies, although specific metrics and targets for emissions reductions have not been disclosed. The absence of detailed emissions data highlights the need for greater transparency in reporting and commitment to climate action within the organisation.
